Ewww...gross...I know!

But, I think I might have it. I've tried the over the counter stuff and even went to the doc about it. He gave me some cream but I have one spot that is still EXTREMELY itchy and my foot is sooo dried out, almost to the point of cracking. So...TMI!

Any suggestions?

Call the doc and tell him about that one spot - it may need a booster or something stronger. Yes, it is gross, but it is one of those kinds of things that happens to all of us. I wouldn't put anything else on it without talking to the doc, if it were me, because you don't know if putting lotion on the dry spots might just encourage the athlete's foot microbes to stick around.

I do understand how miserable you feel - and this kind of thing seems to get worse at night when you are trying to sleep.
